Myths about DevOps

DASA – one of the world leading associations in developing DevOps culture – shares the perfect DORA model (we tell about it in the next post) and claims a set of myths about DevOps, which build impediments on the way of correct and valuable DevOps implementing.

DevOps Antipatterns: However, in practice, DevOps has different meanings for different people. Due to this confusion, organizations don’t realize the benefits of DevOps. Here are some antipatterns.

Agile is for development teams, and DevOps is for the downstream teams: Wrong. DevOps is about building end-to-end product teams, who own the product and are responsible for it throughout its lifecycle. These are the teams Amazon and Spotify popularized: the two pizza teams with build-and-run responsibilities.

The DASA DevOps team competency model  illustrates the skills and knowledge areas of an end-to-end responsible DevOps team.

DASA DevOps Competence Model

DevOps is a CI/CD pipeline: Another common antipattern is to confuse a CI/CD pipeline with DevOps. DevOps is more than implementing a CI/CD pipeline. It is about embracing the technical and cultural practices that enable the smooth flow of small batches of work from development to operations, getting continuous feedback across the delivery pipeline, including from operations, and continually improving the process and the product based on feedback. 

The mythical DevOps engineers: This antipattern is widely prevalent and perhaps the most stressful for the unlucky person. Instead of the entire organization owning the improvement of software delivery performance, a person is responsible for it. Predictably, this doesn’t work. Instead of DevOps breaking silos, organizations create another silo and a bottleneck – the stressed-out DevOps engineer.”
